Topic: Under The Dome (Season 2 - 2014) (Read 229 times)

I am just completely baffled and at a loss for words as just how epic this episode is......and NOT in a good way. This is hands down the worst example of writing, acting and story I have ever witness in any TV series. This is gawd-awful. This is so bad that I urge you to check it out OnDemand and see for yourself what not to do. The only saving grace is that the next episode is the last one for the season and I can once and for all bury this dreadful series. I swear everyone that gave a horrible performance was fighting as hard as possible to keep from laughing at what was coming out of their mouths. I half expected to turn to the camera and say "f*ck this sh*t, I'm outta here...".

By comparison to last weeks dreadful episode, this one was "better". But this is still a sh*tty show that seems to be pulling plot ideas out of its own ass. It wants to be many things, and my guess is that they are trying to be the new Lost and it's failing miserably. But what the producers of the show are failing to realize is that it survives and thrives, not because of story, but because of characters. As crazy and wacky as Lost got over the seasons, we always had compelling characters that we wanted to see week in and week out. On Under the Dome, there isn't one character I give a f*ck about. So it makes all these lame story ideas seem utterly ridiculous. As bad as this season has been, especially the last few episodes, including this one, I still had to see what was at the end of the tunnel. So, what was it? Well, the cave wall came tumbling down to reveal Melanie standing in the middle of a White Room and which she tells the towns people to follow her as she knows the way out. Fade to black,,,,,

Please, just cancel this show once and for all. I'm done and I think a lot of other people are as well. If by chance that CBS does bring it back, I will not be tuning in. I got better things to do with my time and wasting it on this is just not something I want to do. So long you piece of sh*t show. One bright thing about this episode is that they finally killed off the Teacher, who I couldn't stand looking at let alone "acting".

Good God, what is wrong with CBS today? First they renew Extant, now I heard that Under The Dome is getting a 3rd Season. They must be desperate to keep sh*tty shows on the air and cancel good stuff. I have no idea who is in charge, but clearly they haven't watch either show because if they had, they absolutely would not have renewed them. Whatever. I won't be wasting my time with this show again.

I did not know how the financing, streaming, on-demand thing worked. Seems to me bad business practice, in particular from this example.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--CBS's Under the Dome will escape it when the summer series' third season ends Sept. 10. The question is whether the show itself survives the Chester's Mill townfolks' newfound freedom.

"The dome is coming down at the end of the season but that opens up a whole host of storytelling possibilities," said CBS Entertainment chairman Nina Tassler. But she wouldn't say whether the show will be renewed for a fourth season, adding that decision will be made by early fall.

Although the series is among summer's top-rated network dramas, its audience has dropped sharply from its big first season. The network has Extant, starring Halle Berry, Zoo (this summer's top new drama) and next year, has already announced plans for Brain Dead, from the creators of The Good Wife. Dome also has been critically lambasted of late for overextending the premise of the Stephen King novel on which it's based.

Still, the network makes money on these shows even with low ratings, thanks to a deal with Amazon Prime that makes them available for streaming within days of their initial airings. So Dome might not be lifted just yet.
